A British bus driver netted more than £2 million ($3.3 million) on the lottery a day after his divorce came through, The Sun reports.
Kevin Halstead, 50, went out for a drink with friends after his decree absolute arrived in the post last Friday.
He bought a lottery ticket the next day – and was gobsmacked when his lucky numbers came up later that evening. This was reported by The Sun.
Kevin could have been forced to hand half the £2,302,668 to ex-wife Helen if the divorce had taken just a few days longer.
But the astonishing timing of the win means he and his new partner will be able to keep the lot.
A friend said: "Kevin was having a drink with his mates after his paperwork came through.
"He buys a ticket the following morning and scoops the jackpot. You couldn't make it up."
As the Australian guy who played James Bond in " On Her Majesty's Secret Service" once said, " Why doesn't this happen to me?"
I am keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully, it will happen to me, too! Cheers to you, Kevin.

Please refresh my memory. Was is George Lasenby who played James Bond and Diana Riggs ( The Avenger Girl) played the Bond girl?
Yes, it was Lazenby. He was lamenting why the other guy ,principally Sean Connery, got all the fun and he seems to get the short end of the stick.Remember the scene? He got Diana's pair of shoes but the lady was gone...........
